There is one time that I can tell my boss when software will be finished: when its done. If its not done, then words like soon are meaningless. You don't and cant' know what is keeping it from being done. You can not estimate when it will be done. I spent 5 years working on a PhD trying to find why we are so inept at estimating software. I did not finish my thesis, I'm not Doctor Pat If you ask an engineer how long it will take to build a building, he will give you an estimate that is within a few percent. He can also give a cost estimate that is amazingly accurate. Same with designing cars, airplanes, etc. It is not this way with software. We don't have the tools. Anyone who says that he can predict when software will be completed is either: 1) making it all up 2) using my technique, where when is defined as now -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Preorder cancelled
Really? Because someone should tell Andy and Michael and Felix and everyone else checking in code that they're wasting their time... Or it could be your guess is wrong and the Touch is very much in active development trying to get everything happy. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73985 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Preorder cancelled
Interesting about them canceling your order. I pre-ordered one in mid-December. Just checked and it is still showing that status in my Amazon account info. Likewise, I've not received an email advising any change. There was a post by a Logitech employee in this forum (perhaps two or so weeks ago) that said they anticipate a February release. I'd find it odd that they'd start canceling pre-orders at this point, already halfway through January. I'll watch and post back if anything happens over the next few days. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73985 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Preorder cancelled
Interesting. You can't preorder it at Amazon anymore: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LARRDA/ref=asc_df_B002LARRDA994674?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERtag=googlecom09c9-20linkCode=asncreative=380341creativeASIN=B002LARRDA My order hasn't been canceled yet, but who knows? You can still preorder at Crutchfield, PCConnection, BH, etc. And you can still preorder it at the logitech squeezebox site: http://buy.logitech.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPageLocale=en_USSiteID=logib2cid=ShoppingCartPage -- BrianB BrianB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35727 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73985 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Preorder cancelled
May have been canceled because my wife had originally ordered it to be delivered to a neighbors house (surprise). When I changed the delivery site is when this happened. When I tried to reorder, it was listed as not available. I got a duet and love it but want more whole house coverage and was looking forward to the Touch. -- Dbalt Dbalt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73985 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Preorder cancelled
I'd just done a simple search for Squeezebox Touch on Amazon earlier this evening and it came up dry. However, just checked a few minutes ago and its back.
